DARK DESIRES by Claire Marta

The Hunter Chronicles, Book #2

Genre: Paranormal Romance

— SYNOPSIS —

Jasmine Hunter finds herself knee deep in a decadent vampire nest in Prague. A killer lurks the medieval city and is preying on blood donors who frequent the home of the local Vampire Mistress.

With her teammates from Scotland Yard in tow Jasmine, must attempt to discover the murderer's identity.

But will things go to plan? Sex dungeons, submissive human pets, and sexy dominant males are a lot for a rookie to cope with.

Especially when Eric is the last person she expects to see…

Requested to assist with the hunt for a vicious serial killer by an old friend, Eric is left speechless to find Jasmine offering herself up as food. The attraction between them is burning as red hot as before, and his lust for the feisty female is just as deep.

More disturbing, his emotions which he normally has leashed, once more slip in her presence. Yet this time they feel different. Darker, primal, and savage yet Eric cannot explain why. The insidious pull of the other predators around him is also more than a sweet temptation he finds himself unable to resist.

Combining forces, Jasmine and Eric must play the parts of Master and submissive.

But nothing is as it seems.

Can they work out who the killer is in a household full of deception and secrets before it is too late? Or will a price be paid in blood….

*** 18 & over only. Contains sexual scenes, light BDSM, sex and some violence. ***

— REVIEW: 4.5 STARS —

There is absolutely nothing I love more than reading a book by a down-to-earth and friendly author. To add to AJ Renee's awesomeness, she knows how to write a great book! Widower's Aura was a treat for me in many, many ways. Not only was the story line right up my alley (hello, a Romantic Suspense? YES, PLEASE!), but I loved ALL, yes ALL, the characters. Also, the small town environment was perfectly described/developed and had me feeling like I lived in St. Fleur. If these aspects weren't enough, that little something AJ threw into the mix regarding Sofia, made this book refreshingly different. In fact, I don't think I've ever read a book where a character has that quality. A sure bonus!

Despite Noah's efforts, the man could not stay away from Sofia. Holy sexual tension, Batman! It truly sizzled and then some... Thank gosh for Lexi and her teenage ways!! I'm sure that otherwise, Sofia and Noah would have exploded from that pent-up energy! And then...*fireworks*!! Man, talk about PASSION. That build-up was worth it. Noah and Sofia had a deeply rooted connection that I had no problem whatsoever in feeling as a reader. 

Things definitely got better and better as I kept on reading. I was completely enthralled and wanted to know how everything would come full-circle. AJ Renee did NOT disappoint at all! This book made my heart very happy and I could not have read it at a more perfect time, seeing as I needed a happy ending after my last bookish heartbreak!

This was hands-down a great debut!! I will certainly be reading the next installment, which I'm VERY excited about!! 

— ABOUT THE AUTHOR: AJ RENEE —

I’m a military wife and mother to three young girls. Prior to these roles I lived in Florida where I attended the University of Central Florida. I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Masters of Science in Criminal Justice. Almost a decade later and I haven’t used either.

Writing a book was never a goal of mine, funny how life works out sometimes. I thought I would work for one of the many agencies that specialize in justice. Instead I decided to focus on a family once we married.

I’ve worked at a movie theater, with copy machines and printers, recruited for educational institutions, in a library and I even did some time in retail. Now I’m in the most amazing and endless world of weaving stories while I juggle our family schedule.

When I’m not shuttling my daughter’s to school or dance, you can find me at my laptop. I hope you enjoy my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.

DANCER by Jamie Schlosser
Series: The Good Guys; Book 2
Genre: New Adult | Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Star Bound Books
Release Date: December 8th, 2016
— SYNOPSIS —
BRIELLE
Technically, I’m not a stripper. As a cage dancer, I don’t take all my clothes off and no one gets to touch me. I’m just the eye-candy.

And I can feel their eyes on me. I know they’re watching, but I don’t do this for them.

This is my time.

My life may not have turned out the way I thought it would, but I’m not complaining. From 9pm to 1am several days a week I get paid to feel sexy, to feel desired, to do what I love.

I always knew I wanted to be a dancer—I just didn’t realize I’d be doing it in a cage.

COLTON
Erectile dysfunction—two words that can cause a collective cringe from men everywhere. The doctors can call it ‘performance anxiety’ all they want, but that’s just a fancy way of saying my dick doesn’t work.

Just when I start to think there’s no hope for me, I see her. She’s gorgeous, sexy, and goofy as f*ck. She also looks really familiar but I can’t put my finger on it.

When I find out who she really is, my world is turned upside-down and everything seems to fall into place.

She’s not gonna make it easy for me, but I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge. She’s convinced I won’t stick around.

I’ll prove her wrong.
I’ll show her I’m one of the good guys.

*Although Dancer is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.

THE SPIRIT by d.Nichole King

The Spirit Trilogy #1

Paranormal Romance

— SYNOPSIS —

While seventeen year-old Carrie Reese’s parents were working out the details of their divorce, she headed to Villisca, Iowa to stay with her grandparents.

Villisca was home to the infamous Axe Murder House…

It’s known to be haunted by the ghosts of the victims and their killer. Carrie doesn’t believe in ghosts, but the moving curtains and red flashes of light in the windows of Lot 310 were starting to give her reason to watch her back.

Then in walked Lucas…

Within days, Carrie knew she was in love. But Lucas seemed strange: his hands were cool and hollow, he barely touched his food, and there was sadness behind his brilliant green eyes.

Lucas was falling for Carrie but knowing that loving her puts her in grave danger, he reluctantly slips out of her life….

He struggles between staying away and telling Carrie his darkest secret. Unable to stand being apart from her any longer, he decides she must know.

Dead ends and blocked attempts leave them wary.

Lucas seems to be fading away. His eyes no longer glow, his skin pales. Exhaustion consumes him, leaving him distant when he’s with Carrie. Not knowing what’s happening to him kills her.

From all around, shadows creep in, and there’s nowhere to hide.

Then, a mysterious stranger suddenly appears in town and unlocks a deadly secret from Lucas’s past. When the Moore House becomes their only escape—

THE SOUL by d. Nichole King

The Spirit Trilogy #3
Paranormal Romance
— SYNOPSIS —

A soul is not meant to be severed from its spirit.

Neither is it meant to be ripped in two.

Half of Lucas’s soul is lost, and the rest he forfeited to save Carrie’s life. Now, the piece residing in her calls out for unity, and the cry is too much for her to bear. Her spirit suffers, and Lucas fears for her life.

The connection between the couple grows, but so does the evil pursuing them.

When Carrie falls into the clutches of a demon, she and Lucas realize Hell is invested in their search for his soul. Demons know Villisca is without a necromancer, and that Carrie sees the auras of supernaturals. So they offer Carrie a deal.

A prophecy is given. A choice is made.

Love is supposed to conquer all, but the closer Lucas and Carrie come to merging his soul, the more ephemeral their future together appears. When the price is finally revealed—
More than one life is at stake.

* *PLEASE NOTE: All three books HAVE TO BE READ IN ORDER. They are NOT standalone novels.

"With him, time ceased to exist. We were one. 

One spirit. One body. One soul.

Whole. Complete."

THIS SERIES. 

Wow.

What. A. Journey.

An emotional journey at that.

I'm left suffering from one of the biggest book-hangovers this year. I'm also feeling very conflicted and I'm unsure as how to even type out this review. 

One thing I know for sure....

My feelings are very much raw right now...

I feel like sitting in a corner and crying the day away. 

Now, going in, I thought these books were Paranormal, not Paranormal Romance, so I was very much pleased with the surprise that they were, in fact, very romantic. (I only read blurbs ONCE so by the time I go to read the actual book, I've most likely forgotten what it's even about—which I love doing and was clearly the case here.) That said, the series was also very paranormal to the point where I've found myself feeling creeped out and even scared.

D. Nichole King's writing was flawless. I had no problem picturing each and every single scene unfold before me. I mostly read during the night, so suffice it to say, I had been sleeping with a nightlight, especially while reading book 1: The Spirit.

As I swiped the pages, I got more and more emotionally invested in Carrie and Lucas and their journey. I NEEDED them to get their HEA. I need it just as much as they wanted it. If I'm 500% honest, I was terrified—no, more like petrified—that their journey wouldn't end well come book 3, The Soul. From the very beginning something pulled at my heart and had me very nervous, but I kept on reading. I kept falling in love with Lucas. 

Lucas was the definition of an epic book boyfriend and his relationship with Carrie was one full of true love and passion. Their relationship was one that I know I will always cherish and hold close to my heart.

The secondary characters in this trilogy brought the general storyline to life. They made it feel complete and I loved them just as much as I loved Lucas and Carrie. Reid was one of my favorites, I must admit. He was intriguing, funny, and damn sexy. Mike...well, I liked him A LOT from the very beginning, and until Lucas showed up, I wanted him to end up with Carrie. But like I said, until Lucas showed up. Megan, Jess, and Stacey were the type of friends every girl wants to have in her life. Truthfully, they were just what Carrie needed. They each had a different role in Carrie's life, but at the end of it all, they each provided an important piece to the puzzle that was Carrie's emotional journey.

As the trilogy progressed, a TON of twists and turns, ups and downs came along with its development. I was hooked. As terrified as I was to continue reading, I couldn't stop! I need to find out what was going to happen next. I was captivated. 

D. Nichole is an author you need to stop and check out. These books will FOREVER stay with me, and because of all the EMOTIONS they provoked from me, I must give all three books a FIVE-STAR RATING. This trilogy has made my TOP 2016 FAVORITES LIST. 

P.S.

I sure do hope there are more books to this series!! Reid should get a book and....Mike too! 😉

*

*

*

*** STOP READING HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ENDING. WHILE I WON'T GIVE IT AWAY, THIS IS A BIT SPOILERY. I WILL ONLY DISCUSS MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE ENDING, NOT THE ACTUAL ENDING, BUT SOME MIGHT FEEL IT'S A SPOILER. 

As I continued to read book 3, The Soul, my heart started to ache. 

Then...it started to really hurt. 

Then....it broke. 

More like, it got shattered into a thousand pieces. 

As revelations happened, everything started to make sense. The story was coming full circle. 

As the ending approached, I understood why it all happened the way it did. 

Did it make it any easier? No. 

Did I cry? No. I SOBBED. 

However, as I reached the final pages of The Soul, I felt my heart healing.

Did it mean I was happy with the ending? No. 

Is there a happy ending? Yes, in many ways there is and a lot of people might answer this question with a "yes, hands-down". Is it one I'm happy with? No. To me, it's not fully a HEA.

Do I understand it, however? Yes. 

Would I recommend this trilogy? YES. 

I feel like Lucas is a book boyfriend you all should meet and fall in love with. 

Now, excuse me while I go and think about Carrie and Lucas and their epic love story.

EGO MANIAC by @ViKeeland #CoverReveal

EGO MANIAC by Vi Keeland
— SYNOPSIS —
The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office.
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.
He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.

Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant.
Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.

Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.
Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent.
I was swindled out of ten grand.

The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place.
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.
I never expected my body to react every time we argued. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do.

The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages.
The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.
And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day.

— REVIEW: 5 STARS —

Man!!! This author sure knows how to write an emotional book!! The feels!!! Wow! This book was NOT what I was expecting at all. It took a very surprising turn, but one that I am VERY happy with.

* * Please know that book one MUST be read prior to this one as these are NOT standalone novels. If you have not read book one, STOP READING THIS REVIEW. 

River and Adam were both lost souls in this book. Bobby's sudden death broke them beyond what words could ever explain. My heart ached for them!!! They were both in a painful limbo, unsure about how to continue living. They only seemed to cause each other pain, and it all went down hill from there. 

Adam made me so angry!! And Tara—omg! I was SO happy for River when she finally chose to put herself first. 

She deserved to find herself.

She deserved to find happiness. 

Enter West. 

MAN!!!!! I was beyond glad they met. He was DELICIOUS and just what she needed. I'm curious to see where their relationship goes!! That's not to say I'm nervous and anxious about it too! One this is certain—I am BEYOND READY for book three! In fact, it's probably THE understatement of the year!!!!

Cassandra doesn’t remember a time when she wasn’t writing. In fact, the first time she was published was when she was seven years old and won a contest to be published in an American Girl Doll novel.

Her personal goal with her writing is to show the reader the character’s stories through their dialogue and actions instead of just telling the reader what is happening.

In addition to being a published author, Cassandra is a full-time successful financial marketer and part-time photographer. When she’s not making the characters in her head come to life she either has her bow and arrows or long board skateboard in hand.

FILTHY RICH by Raine Miller

Blackstone Dynasty, Book #1
— SYNOPSIS —
Billionaire Caleb Blackstone lives in the glamorous world of wealth and success, with every material luxury. But the moment he sees Brooke Casterley, none of that matters. Caleb is filled with a raw, undeniable need that he can’t ignore…for a girl who is so completely different from everything and everyone he’s ever known.

Only Brooke isn’t looking for love. She knows all too well just how much damage the wrong guy can do. Still, what sane, broke British girl can resist the charms of an incredibly sexy, chivalrous billionaire? What starts as flirtation quickly turns into all-consuming passion. Nothing could have prepared her for the searing heat of Caleb’s touch—or just how much she craves him.

Their whirlwind romance is the stuff of high-society fantasy—but for every moment of pleasure, there is a cost. Past mistakes and tragedy shadow them both…and falling for him might be the kind of trouble she can’t afford.

Swoon-worthy. Dreamy. Sexy. Protective. 

These are just some of the words that come to mind when describing the deliciousness that is Caleb Blackstone. He's down-to-earth and completely humble despite being incredibly rich which to me is a massive plus! His confidence is also very captivating. 

I. 

LOVE. 

Caleb Blackstone. 

Brooke Casterly is recovering from a painful past, but she doesn't let that stop her from living. She still deals with inner demons daily, but Caleb isn't scared off easily...or at all. In fact, he slowly helps her overcome them. His patience with her is truly heartfelt, only making him yummier! He knows she's it for him, so he's not going to let her go without a fight.

*SIGH* Oh, Caleb. 

As always, Raine Miller doesn't disappoint! She delivers readers a heart-warming, beautiful romance that must not be missed! You need to meet Caleb Blackstone today! 

— ABOUT THE AUTHOR —

Raine Miller is a New York Times bestselling author who likes to write romantic stories pretty much every chance she gets. She has a handsome husband, two amazing sons, and two bouncy Italian greyhounds to keep her busy the rest of the time. Her boys know she likes to write stories, but gratefully have never asked to read any. Thank God!

I’ll leave you with a quote from a young man who didn’t live long enough to write more beautiful words for our continued enjoyment, dying tragically at only twenty-five years old. One of the most brilliant romantic poets ever to walk this earth, his words continue to take my breath away. This is from a letter he wrote to his fiance, Fanny Brawne. He died before they could marry.

…I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days. Three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain. -John Keats…1819

BEDWRECKER by @authorkimkarr #BOOKREVIEW

Bedwrecker by Kim Karr
Release Date: November 3, 2016
Genre: Contemporary Romance
— SYNOPSIS —
Every girl has had a broken heart.
Every girl knows love hurts.
Every girl has a story.
This is mine…

My name is Maggie May and I met him under a haze of purple lights. As cliché as it sounds he was tall, dark, and handsome as hell, and I had fireworks in my eyes…literally.

It was New Year’s Eve and beneath the magic of all that glitters and shines, I fell for him and his wicked ways. The way he moved, the way he touched me, the way he brought me to orgasm over and over.

You should know that I don’t believe in love. Fairytales and happily-ever-afters are never anything I’ve dreamed of…until him.

Something changed the moment our eyes met. It wasn’t insta-lust or insta-love, it was simply him and me, and the dance floor at our feet.

The problem is our story ended three days after it started.
But now he’s back.
And he says he’s sorry.
Can I believe him?
Do I want to believe him?

He calls me his bedwrecker…but what if he wrecks me?

— REVIEW: 5 STARS —
OH. EM. GEE. Another masterpiece from Kim Karr and yet another addition to my 2016 Top Favorite Books List!! I enjoyed NO PANTS REQUIRED, in fact, I loved it, but BEDWRECKER, to me, was a HOMERUN! This is a MUST READ, hands-down! 

Let me start off by saying.....
I AM IN LOVE WITH KEEN.
He's mine. 
All mine.
Back off.
Don't even think about it. 
Holy cow, what a hunk! 

Now that I got THAT out of the way.... 
This book was truly uh-mazing. From begining to end, I was hooked. Fully engrossed in every single detail!! From the story to the characters, everything was perfect! And Maggie? Man, I loved her wittiness!! She certainly did NOT take anyone's crap...not even Keen's. And they sure had a ton of up's and down's, enough to make anyone's head spin, but she always stood her ground. 

See, both Keen and Maggie were stubborn!! So with that "slight" detail, arguments and passion-filled fights came along. The chemistry was beyond HOT and 500% undeniable. They WANTED each other and despite all their issues, that was the one thing they both knew (even if it would kill them to admit so). 

I found myself grinning like a fool while reading their banter because quite frankly, to me, it was very amusing to see them fight. It was so obvious why they kept arguing, but like I mentioned, they were both quite stubborn. Maggie was indeed the female version of Keen. 

Man, this book was FUN to read, and it's oh, so sexy too!!! Do yourself a favor a purchase your copy of this book. Seriously. If you're anything like me, then I just KNOW you will not only devour it, but fall in love. FIVE SEXY AND PASSIONATE STARS!

TRINITY'S TRUST by CA Harms @Charms0814 #BOOKTOUR

TRINITY'S TRUST by CA Harms
Sawyer Brothers #5
Genre: Western Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
Release Date: Nov. 1, 2016
— SYNOPSIS —
Trinity Flores stumbled upon the Sawyer family when she needed it most.

She was broken, lost, and looking for a new beginning.

They gave her love that most dream of, unconditionally devoted to her well-being.

The large, overbearing, protective, bullheaded Sawyer men vowed to keep her safe, and—of course—at times drove her crazy.

When Chase Douglas came to town, he hadn’t expected to do anything other than help his ill grandmother. Then the new deputy caught sight of the shy, blonde-haired beauty and it was impossible not to want to know her more. But he had no idea the torment he was about to face, or the obstacles he would encounter from the Sawyer Brothers.

They didn’t make it easy for him to win her heart. He had to prove himself first, and that just made him fight harder to prove he was the right man for her.

Gaining Trinity’s trust was his number one goal.

Because in Chase’s eyes, no one deserved the love of a devoted man more than the woman who captured his heart.

— EXCERPT —

Sometimes I woke from a dream of still being trapped in that house, still fearful of his anger. My mind would fall back to that place where I felt it was all deserved. Michael had a control over me I couldn’t explain, and I allowed it to continue for far too long.

I lived with it and just accepted it as my fate until that final day when I could no longer take the hate he showed me. I could barely even tolerate myself because I was so shameful of my life and how far I’d let things go.

It was my fault I never stood up to him; instead, I allowed him to knock me down daily and take all his anger out on me. He had a way with words that could make anyone feel inferior to him. He was condescending and manipulative and I was a fool.

It was disgusting, the person I had become.

I was really heartbroken now when I thought back on it all. How I’d wasted precious time, time I’d never get back.

But I escaped and somehow, by some miracle, I found my way to Livingston. I stumbled upon some of the greatest people with the warmest souls. And I was proud to refer to those people as my family. It didn’t matter that we didn’t share the same bloodline; they loved me just the same and I in turn loved and adored them. It was because of the Sawyer family that I found the strength to press charges against Michael for the things he had put me through. It was because of them I filed for divorce and started to once again live my life.

I would forever be grateful to Noah and Ryan for helping me find the right path that day. They honestly could have shipped me down the road and forgotten about the homeless girl they found stranded in a car on a back country road. Instead they introduced me to the women they loved, and in turn I found myself surrounded by so much joy I had no idea what to do with it all.

The three Sawyer men referred to me daily as their sister and so did their wives. And Tammy, God bless her, gave me the love of a mother, something I’d never had before, and nothing had ever felt so good.

It was something I treasured and in no way could I ever explain just how thankful I truly was.

The bond we’d formed could never be broken. I was finally home.

I had become so wrapped up in my own thoughts I hadn’t heard the bell above the door of Sassy Ladies chime, announcing a customer had entered. But at the sound of a deep voice just a few feet behind me, I yelped in surprise as I spun around with my hand pressed tightly against my chest.

There, only a few feet away, stood the man who’d starred in so many of my dreams lately. So vivid and convincing that it was hard not to feel they were real.

Chase Douglas.

— REVIEW: 5 STARS —
BY FAR MY FAVORITE INSTALLMENT IN THE SERIES!!
Erik.
Man, what a swoony guy!!!! I loved, loved, loved him and I absolutely LOVED how much he loved Monique. He did anything for her, even if it meant putting himself in not-so-pleasant situations. I loved his parents too and Monique's dad. Her mom? Meh. Not so much! She got on my last nerve! Not that I could blame her for the attitude and hatred she seemed to feel all the time towards mages, but ugh—she pissed me off a lot! I found myself telling her time and time again to back off!

The dead people part of this story was slightly (not-so-slightly) creepy!! I can't imagine living with that gift like Erik did...but he was pretty bad-ass!

There's suspense, drama, action, hotness, and everything a must-read paranormal romance novel should have! Brandy L Rivers truly hit a home-run with DEADLY DESIGN. FIVE STARS!
